Our Impact

EWB was founded in Australia by local engineers and now has 2,000 active members and 15,000 supporters across Australia. Our diverse membership is defined by 41% female members, bucking the current Australian engineering participation rate of 11%.

We are the only dedicated organisation in Australia that connects STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) professionals with local communities, industry, the education sector and government to address social and environmental issues.

We measure the success of our Organisational Strategy against a range of reach and impact metrics. Here are some of the key statistics regarding our work:

In mid-2015, we conducted a broad reflection survey of our entire membership database between 2010 and 2015. The results surprised us - check out a summary of the results.

Our members suggest that "Our most strategically aligned and impactful program is International Volunteer Placements" - Response to EWB Member Reflection Survey, June 2015
